MSJC Umoja Club Honored at Temecula’s REDI Commission Meeting for Black History Month

In celebration of Black History Month, Mt. San Jacinto College’s (MSJC) Umoja Club was invited to the Temecula Race, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (REDI) Commission meeting. The public event took place on Thursday, February 13, at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers, and local leaders recognized the contributions of Black and African American students in the community.

Umoja Club President Chelsea Ross, representing the Umoja Scholars Program, received a special proclamation in honor of Black History Month. The event provided an opportunity for student leaders to share their voices, highlight their ongoing efforts, and engage in meaningful dialogue with the community.

The Umoja Club follows the guiding principle of “ACE” in every proclamation celebration:

• Acknowledging the significance of the special month

• Celebrating with the youth of the community

• Educating through information sharing and open dialogue
